If it makes you feel better, in combat sports it's rarely a good thing. I've never had the reach advantage. Additionally, it's fucking HARD for me to get over 200lbs, which impairs my ability for maximal lifting. I just don't have much room on me. I got a buddy who hasn't been lifting for as long, but being taller, he was able to get up to 230lbs while still not being very big, and is able to put up some massive lifts.
